Hello! I'm trying to re-start my blog and realized that I never published this post from June of 2015. Lots has happened..... enjoy!

I'm almost done with the digging lab bone. It was put on hold because I wanted to order some Swarovski crystals for the tree ornaments and because I had to finish a book on negotiations for work. Now that my crystals are in and my book is finished. It's time to dig in and finish this piece.

I got these back from the finisher and they are adorable! But the hangers were out of proportion with the dresses and sweaters.

So I went online and asked the Facebook needlepoint group where to go to purchase different black, wire doll hangers. The Country Porch had exactly what I was looking for- a 3" hanger. And look at the difference.

In Midland, I have a housekeeper, which is something I plan to replicate on Houston when I get back. It's been really nice to be able to needlepoint on the weekends and not worry about cleaning beyond just straightening up.

This is what I have accomplished: lots of little pieces but I've loved clearing these out of my stash.

The sweaters are stitched mostly in criss cross Hungarian and all of the thread is vineyard merino.
